FAQ
Fair questions, straight answers
Everything about buying, setting up, editing, guest privacy, and the 5-year promise. If your question is not here, email [email protected].
Buying
What do I get for $39?
One complete guidebook for one property: a hosted, mobile-first web page with your wifi, check-in steps, house rules, local tips with map links, photos, and your contact details. You also get a printable QR sign (PDF, in A5 and US letter) that points guests to it. The deal is simple: hosting included for 5 years + export anytime. Edits are free, whenever you need them.
Is this a subscription?
No. You pay once. There is no renewal, no locked features, and no paywall waiting for you next year. Hosting included for 5 years + export anytime.
What is the difference between the $39 Guidebook and the $59 Pro?
Pro adds AI import (paste your listing description and the form pre-fills for you), a guest language toggle with up to 3 languages, and 2 extra themes. If you start with the $39 Guidebook, you can upgrade to Pro later for a one-time $20 inside your editor. The $99 Host Bundle is 3 Pro guidebooks, for hosts with more than one property.
Does it work with Airbnb, Vrbo, or Booking.com?
Yes, with all of them, and with direct bookings too. Your guidebook is a normal web link plus a printed QR sign, so it works no matter where the guest booked. Keystay is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Airbnb, Vrbo, or Booking.com.
Can I see it before I buy?
Yes. There is a live demo guidebook at keystay.co/demo that you can scroll and tap exactly like a guest would. You can also try our free Wi-Fi QR Sign Maker at keystay.co/wifi-sign, no signup needed.
I bought on Etsy. Is that the same product?
Yes, identical. Your Etsy download includes a quickstart PDF and your setup details. Go to keystay.co/activate, enter your Etsy order number, and you are in.
Setting up
How do I activate my purchase?
Go to keystay.co/activate. If you bought on keystay.co, enter the license key from your receipt email. If you bought on Etsy, enter your Etsy order number. That takes you straight into the guided form.
How long does setup take?
Most hosts finish the guided form in about 10 minutes. You answer plain questions about wifi, check-in, rules, and your favorite local spots, and we handle the design. On Pro, AI import pre-fills most of it from your listing description.
What photo formats can I upload?
JPEG, PNG, and WebP. SVG files are not supported, and there is a cap on photo size and count to keep your guest page fast. One iPhone tip: if your photos are saved as HEIC, export or share them as JPEG first.
How do I print the QR sign?
It is generated automatically as a PDF in A5 and US letter sizes. Print it at home on plain paper or send it to any print shop; it is designed to hold up even in black and white. Editing your guidebook later does not break the sign, because the QR points to your link, not to the text on the page.
Editing
How do I edit my guidebook later?
Through your personal edit link, which you receive after setup. Bookmark it. Edits are free and unlimited, and they go live right away. There is no account or password to remember.
I lost my edit link. What do I do?
Email [email protected] from the address you purchased with, or include your Etsy order number. We verify the purchase and send you a fresh link, usually within one business day. The old link stops working once the new one is issued.
Can I use one guidebook for two properties?
Each guidebook covers one property, so guests always see exactly the right wifi, address, and instructions. For multiple properties, the $99 Host Bundle gives you 3 Pro guidebooks.
Guests & privacy
Can strangers find my guidebook on Google?
No. Your guidebook lives at a long random link that cannot be guessed, and we tell search engines not to index it. Only people with the link or the QR sign can reach it. If you want an extra layer, you can add a 4-digit PIN in your editor.
Is my wifi password sitting in plain view?
No. The password shows as dots until a guest taps to reveal it, and door codes work the same way. If you set a PIN, codes are not even loaded onto the page until the PIN is entered.
Do you collect data about my guests?
No. There are no forms, no accounts, and no personal-data analytics on guest pages. Your guests just read the page; there is nothing about them for us to store. The full detail is in our privacy policy.
Refunds & the 5-year promise
What is your refund policy?
14 days from purchase, no questions asked. If you bought on keystay.co, email [email protected] and we refund you through Lemon Squeezy, our payment provider. If you bought on Etsy, the refund runs through Etsy's system; message us via your order or email us and we will sort it out. After a refund, editing access closes, but we do not pull a page out from under guests mid-stay. The details are in our refund policy.
What does "hosting included for 5 years" actually mean?
Your one-time payment covers hosting your guidebook for 5 years from the purchase date, and you can export anytime: a single self-contained HTML file you can keep or host anywhere, plus print-to-PDF. Before the 5 years are up, we will contact you with options, and if anything ever changed on our side you would get at least 90 days notice plus your export. In plain terms: hosting included for 5 years + export anytime, and your content is never held hostage. The commitment is written into our terms of service.
